Ultrafast Dynamics of Intra- and Intermolecular Interactions in
Liquids and Films
Evgeniia Salamatova
1) Surprisingly, pure N-methylacetamide is the substance with a specific molecular structure not only in the crystalline phase but also in a liquid phase (Chapter 2).
2) Besides the cookery, the “mayonnaise effect” (Wynne, J. Phys. Chem.
Lett. 8, 6189, 2017) can be found in N-methylacetamide-water mixtures
(Chapter 3).
3) By experimenting on strongly diluted systems where the intermolecular interactions are negligibly weak, it is easy to prove their importance for dynamical properties in the bulk phase (Chapter 4).
4) Small star-shaped molecules exhibit fascinating intramolecular properties for a chemical physicist; however, device manufacturing requires deep understanding of intermolecular properties as well (Chapter 5).
5) Sometimes well-studied materials show incredible properties if you get a new perspective (Chapters 2 and 3).
6) It is good to know that evolution prefers slow and lazy creatures (Strotz et
al., Proc. Royal Soc. Lond. 2018; DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2018.1292). This fact makes lazy people happier in the world of fast paced society.
7) A lot of small changes lead to a totally new result. A comparison of the first draft of a manuscript with the published paper is a great example of this.
